How store anti-theft alarms work: Magnetostriction (2015)

Perhaps OT, but I have an Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) [0] which zaps my heart if I experience cardiac arrest due to ventricular fibrillation, hopefully avoiding sudden cardiac death. I&#x27;m not supposed to linger in the vicinity of store anti-theft alarms as their magnetic fields can stop the ICD from correctly sensing (induction hobs do the same thing). In the worst case they can apparently cause the ICD to factory-reset, and emit annoying buzzing noises from inside my body. Ho hum.<p>[Edit] also, you should avoid ICDs if you are tin-foil-hat paranoid. Mine comes with a bedside telemetry monitor that reads data from the ICD every day and occasionally uploads it to the NHS mothership. The device-monitor RF protocol is proprietary and unpublished and the monitor has it&#x27;s own 4G dongle.<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Implantable_cardioverter-defibrillator" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Implantable_cardioverter-defib...</a>

This reminds me that once where was a store I visited pretty often, almost every single time I entered the store, I would most likely trigger the alarm and nope, I did not carry such tags. The culprit seemed to be the credit cards in my wallet. This article seems to be able the explain what happened. I have to admit the design was both genius and dumb. It&#x27;s simple, cheap and works most of time but can also easily by passed folding or removing the tag itself altogether. Most annoyingly, high false alarm rate.
